One of my great loves in life is pancakes! Brunching is without a doubt my favourite hobby. Being able to have a cosy lie in, get dressed up and then go and have pudding to start off your day, what could possibly be better than that?
You may have guessed from the other posts on my blog, I am somewhat of a big sweet tooth! For me brunch means one thing, sugary sweetness! Pancakes, Waffles, French toast, all dreamy plates of deliciousness.
Sheffield, my hometown, is a brilliant brunch hotspot, full of many gorgeous independent cafes serving some beautiful brunches. I feel, therefore, it’s only right to take on the task of attempting to try them all!
This week’s trip was to check out a new opening on Ecclesall Road, Juke and Loe. Described as a welcoming neighbourhood cafe by day and distinctive contemporary cooking at night, I was excited to give it a try! The interior is simple and classic, with a large open space still managing to feel warm and inviting, helped by dark wooden floors and tables .
Once I saw pancakes on the menu my mind was already made up but the other choices all sounded delicious for those with less of an inclination to the sweet side, from a Full English to Parmesan Waffles!
I was definitely more than ready for food and luckily once we’d ordered the food came very swiftly! As much as I wanted to take my time and enjoy every mouthful, once I’d had my first bite, the rest was pretty much inhaled! The wonderfully light and fluffy pancakes were paired with classic maple syrup, ricotta and delicious blueberry compote. With the sweetness of the syrup, the creamy ricotta and then the thick and delicious compote, it was a perfect combination! I also finished without feeling the usual need for a lie down and a nap suggesting I’d at last discovered a perfect portion size!
If you are, like me, a big pancake fan or even just a food fan, I would definitely recommend a visit to Juke and Loe! Brilliant food, yummy coffee, super friendly service and very reasonably priced, I will definitely be back soon, hopefully to try out the dinner menu!

This has been my first review in a very long time! I hope you have enjoyed it and I’ll be back soon with more recipes and yummy treats to share with you!
